I further promise faithfully and diligently to pursue the studies assigned to me, and to observe carefully all the regulations of the college or seminary in which I may be placed. I also promise to hold no connection with any fraternity or secret society, but by the grace of God to lead a truly Christian life so long as I am a beneficiary of the Chicago Synod. I promise further, that in case my name be stricken from the roll of beneficiaries for any reason satisfactory to Synod, or if I fail to fulfill any of the promises above made, or if I depart from the doctrines and usages of the Evangelical Luth- eran Church, or if I should be ordained by or connected with any Synod or body not in doctrinal harmony and sympathy with this Synod, or if I conclude not to devote myself to the ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, that I will within three years thereafter repay to this Synod the whole amount of money received therefrom with 6 per cent. interest thereon from date of receiving it.
